To the Herald.
The very first contribution by which
Rev. G.. II. Sturgeon was encouraged
to undertake the work Of establishing
Stockwell Orphanage was 100000 by
Mrs. billiard, herself widow. This
was not expended but invested ms en-
dowment. The same Lady afterwards
sold her silver ware and appropriated
the proceeds to the support OF the first
orphans received. They were kept in
a hired house, awaiting the erection of
buildings, for which the money was
rapidly provided. These buildings
were used for boys only. Afterwards
100000 were given to purchase
grounds for the girls orphanage, and
100000 expended OH buildings.
Rev. William III. Yarrow, in sketch
of Surgeons life and works says :

THE AVN FRANCISCO MER-
CHANTS ALARMED.

The following, from the Silver
8 ate, is every word true. and will
be most heartily concurred in BY
every Nevadan:
San Francisco merchants are
manifestine considerable anxiety
REGARDING the Inter State Commerce
Act. They think the trade of
the city is in danger. and are hold
ing secret meetings to discuss the
situation. The belief is prevalent
among them that the rates of freight
on many articles will be materially
increased and some of them openly
declared that the act is an outrage
on California.
San Francisco merchants deserve
very little sympathy from the
interior, and none whatever
from Nevada, Since the discovery
of the Comstock and the settlement
of Nevada, the people of this State
have been paying heavy tribute to
San Francisco. All the machinery
used in the mines are manufactured
IN that city and all the bullion pro
duced by those mines, arc shipped
to that city. Many of the finest
structures in the city were erected
by the gold and silver taken from
the mines of this State, and much
of the capital of its principal banks
was produced in Nevada. Every
thing that the people of this State
consumed except beef and potatoes,
was brought from San Francisco.
and when . miner, a merchant or
stockman had a few hundred dol
lars to spare, he went to San Fran
cisco to spend 1t. Prosperous times
in Nevada, benefited San Trinclsco
rs much, if not more, than Nevada.
yet there was no reciprocity on the
part of that city.
When the silver question was be-
fore Congress-, and the gold men
were endeavoring to suspend silver
coinage at the minis, San Francisco
politicians, who controlled the State
convention of one of the great par
ties, eliminated from the platform
OF that party, resolution favorine
free coinage and nominated aud re-
elected tn Congress; Representa-
tive, who, as a member of Con-
gressional com mittee, to which
bill for the free coinage of silver
had been referred, joined the gold
men on an adverse point on the bill
regardless of the Consequences of
the State, which, since It's oIeaniZa-
ton has been dumping the profits
of it's mines aud the savings of it,
miners. IN the lap of San Francisco,
a city which has given US nothing
in return for the favors which we
have showered upon It.
If, therefore, the Inter State
Commerce bill benefits the mer-
chants and the people of Nevada
(and that it will there is scarcely
room for doubt at the expense of
San Francisco, it will be just ret
ribution, and one for which Nevada
should feel grateful Ia Congress.

The APPEAL Is always glad to
zee a real form In San Francisco
journalism. From their position
in the Kissane case it is clear to
see that they have all decided to
eschew sensationalism from this
on.

Creed builders and creed supporters at
tempt to tell us just how the universe is
constituted, and to fasten their particular
view upon everyone else. The solution of
this difference, between the absolute be-
levers in one or another form of religion
and the absolute deniers of all religions,
will perhaps be found ultimately in a re-
Cancellation upon the basis Of IN agreement
and understanding that no human being is
qualified to speak with binding authority
concerning the nature Of the universe and
q future state of being for the soul. But
all honest human beings may work to-
gether in trying to better the conditions of
present life by suceoring the fatherless and
the oppressed and striving to lessen the
sum of human misery. When the ortho-
dox subscribers to a special creed and the
people banded together as orthodox or
heterodox nounc of all creeds, shall
all admit that they really know nothing
about the future life and the great first
Principle. but that they do know a lot
about our life here on the globe and wish
to do their best toward making it pleasant
er, sweeter and holier-then, indeed, We
shall have true worship of the Divine
Power. The negatlonists assert their claim
to reject and upset every belief in the di-
vine. They assert their egotism, as OPP
posed to all the believers. The believers
assert their egotism, as opposed to all the
doubters, when they cling to special creeds,
predicating that which no man really
knows about the structure and government
of the universe. These opposing parties
by and by will be at one, when they dis
Germ that they know nothing beyond the
present life, and admit that they are all in
thehands ola powergreater than humanity,
to which they must bow. Whatever name
be given to that power, men must always
be subject to it and revere it.---Georqe Par
sons Ldthrop.

Lo, the people shall well alone, and shall
not be reckoned among the nations.-Nnm.
xiii, ..
1t was the purpose OF God to keep the
seed of Abraham, during their minority,
or the period of their training and growth
into a nation, a community by themselves;
they were to dwell %alone,r that they
might be preserved as far as possible from
imbibing the idolatrous notions, or following
the corrupt practices of the nations about
them. Now, it would be difficult to find a
country, good and pleasant, on the face of
the earth, more secluded from all others,
and therefore more suitable for the Divine
purpose, than Canaan. The land was lit
orally shut out, on all sides, from the rest
of the world. To the east lay the vast As
syrian dessert; on the west was the long and
almost harborless coast Of the Mediterra-
mean; along the whole southern frontier
stretched "the great and terrible wilder
ness of Paran;" while on the north it was
protected by the stupendous ramparts of
Lebanon and Hensron, which left but a
narrow gateway open, the valley of Cole
Syria, which lay between them. Thus III
this land ''the vine of Gods OWN planting
was ''hedged round about by sea and
desert and mountain, that neither ''the
boar of the wood nor ''the beast of the
field" should harm it.-Present Conflict Of

COMPARATIVE LONGEVITY OF MEN
AND WOMEN.

Interesting researches concerning the
comparative longevity of men and women
in Europe have recently been made by the
Director of the Bureau of Statistics at
Vienna. From these it appears that about
one third more ONE than men reach adj
regular lives. They have fewer bad
habits, are less exposed to strong passion
and excitement. 1t appears from the gath
cred statistics Of the world that women
have a greater t~enacity Of life than men.
Nature worships the female in all its yari-
cites. Among insects the male perishes 1T
a relatively early period, In plants tie
seminate blossoms die earliest, and are
produced in the weaker limbs. Female
quadrupeds have more endurance than
males. In the human race, despite the in
teilectual and physical strength Of man,
woman endures longest, and will bear pain
to which strong man succumbs. Zymotic
diseases are more fatal to males, and more
male children die than female. Deverga
asserts that the proportion dying sudden
ly is about 100 women to $50 mem: 1000
men in the United States committed sui
eide to 265 women. Intemperanee, apo
plexy, govt, hydroeephalous, affections Of
the heart or liver, s~crofula and paralysis
are far more fatal TO males than females.
Pulmonary consumption, on the other
hand. is more deadly to females, which
argues we ought to give the girls of our
families all the outdoor exercise that they
need. Females in cities are more prone to
consumption than in the country. All
old countries not disturbed by emigration
have a majority CT females in the popula-
ton. In royal families the statistics show
more daughters than sons. The Hebrew
woman is exceptionally long-liyed, while
the colored man is exceptionally short
lived. DIR. Hough remarks thai there are
from two to six per cent. more males born
than females, yet there is more than six
per cent. excess of females in the living
population. The rush aud worry of the
average business man in this country is apt
to make him p~rematurely old, unless lie
takes judicious recreation, which he very
seldom does. The females are, to a great
extent, exempt from this oyerstraining
about business cares, which may. in a de-
gree, account for their superior Vitality
Tie Indicator.

The stanza given below was written by
Mrs. Barbauld in extreme old age. Our
admiration grows with every reading, and
it seems to Us increasingly beautiful. The
poet Rogers regarded it as one of the finest
things in English literature. Henry Grab

stanza to Wordsworth twice, and then
